Anybody know azsellsit on ebay?

[Ahigh]

No I measured it, and it's 3/4".  Also, I actually went to his shop today and showed up (unannounced).  He wasn't there but I talked to the people who were building the cabinets.  The shop was like a garage sort of shop with a small office up front.  They had about 2000-3000 square feet, and there was a ziplog baggie with what I would estimate to be about 200 clips (enough for about 25 machines or so).  They had about 15 panel tops that were all 3/4" pre-cut and lying against one another.  They were not 1".  They also had a big pile of the particle board, and the guy explained that's how they do their clips until they get their shipment in (he spoke english and spanish, and appeared to be someone who helps build the cabinets.)

They had a huge bag of 1.25" clips and a huge pile of those paricle board spacers.  They did have 3 of the 3/4" clips left, and the I was told that they were waiting on the 3/4" clips to come in.

If it's true that this will be happening until February, there are going to be more people displeased with the wood spacers on the wrong sized clips.  Hopefully some of them will find this thread before going through the same thing I just went through.

All the suppliers online only supply the clips for the 1" thick wood tops.  Personally, I think that if he can't get the right clips, he should offer to redo the top panel instead of putting on the wrong clips and dealing with unhappy customers in the mean time.

I refuse to put this cabinet on location as it looks like ass with those particle board spacers in there.  I only went in there because I figured he only did this to me, but it does appear he's doing this to everyone, just like he said.  That's the clips they use...

So I just realized that mikesarcade only sells the 1" clips, so I had mike take them off my order.

Does anyone know where I can find 3/4" clips?  I know they exist because I have them on my other cabinet.  I guess I could cut a new top from my own wood, except then I would need to get t-molding to fit the 1" wood.

Gosh I wish this guy just did this right the first time.  I can't believe he thinks this is my responsibility!

I thought we decided that your old cabinet had a 1" top?

Ok let me get this straight. You paid a guy 1500 bucks that you dont know personally for a cabinet before you get it.  You didn't get alot of things you should have......artwork, right clips,metal control panels, dust washers, etc
When he delivers it you don't refuse it.

You shave off 50 bucks off ( a whole 3% ) the purchase price by mutually agreeing to cut ebay out of the deal and thereby cutting out your official proof of what you were supposed to get. You have nothing in writing except some emails which could have been modified.

The guy who you are calling a liar and everything else has 428 positive feedbacks in 3 years on ebay, 1 neutral ( which was a guy that had to wait a month for his cabinet ) and 1 negative ( which was a customer that gave a check that bounced twice ).
Other than your just one of the good guys here, ( and we just know you wouldnt do it ) how do we know and where is some proof that you didnt get a "deal" on a less than perfect cab, and now want to get the extras free by dragging his name around in the mud......Since this is what he claims in the email you post.

Really, i do want to believe YOU. BUT where is some PROOF that he is the crook not you?

The previous posts strikes me as odd.  Here is hsstie ,who hasn't posted on the message boards for 9 months, digging up a 2 week old thread and posting a response in defense of a seller that has obviously not been on the up and up.

If it walks like a duck,  flys like a duck,  and quacks like a duck...I'd be more inclined to think it's not an elephant.

It seems to me, having read the entire thread and the correspondence, that there was no miscommunication unless it had to do with language (but I doubt it)....I am assuming this guy is a Mexican??

The seller, Azsellsit, is intentionally overlooking the initial order that stated AHigh wanted the exact same cabinet plus the Namco licensed board, because he (the seller) needed the profit. I believe the seller read the initial email order, and understood it, however, he wanted the sale because he was hurting financially and so he decided to go ahead and agree to it and send what he could send and then totally ignore the specifics of the deal.

The fact that, over and over again....you bring up in your emails that you wanted the same cocktail as before, but he never addresses that one point - is quite telling. He wanted your money because times are getting a little rough for him, and now he is trying to play dumb.

Let this be a lesson learned and drag down his business on as many arcade oriented boards/forums you can find.

He seems like a real piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- seller.

Not that it really matters, but yea its been a few months since i posted here. There are many people here that havent posted in a long time eithier , its no crime. Its been a few months since i had the finances and the time to consider putting a control panel together. I was looking through old posts to try and decide how i will set out the controls on my panel. No im not on the sellers side, and dont know him. In fact im all the way on the other side of the us on the east coast. But i just pointing out our buddy here has no proof of what he was supposed to get, and accepts the delivery. Then cries about it. Yea maybe hes the innocent one. But hes got no proof he is from what i see. The only offical piece of paper here is him ordering some parts. He would have plenty of proof if he didnt cut ebay out. ( which he was warned not to do in the emails he posted ) So whos fault is that?

[Popcorrin]

Have you read this entire thread?  Ahigh posted a copy of email correspondence where he states to the seller that he wants a cabinet just like the last one he got, but with a namco mspac/galaga board in it, and the seller agrees to it.  But Ahigh did not get a cabinet like the last one he got.  Not even close.

Seems very cut and dried to me.

The other thing is that the clips are second-rate clips too.  They have sharp edges and I've already cut myself on them playing the game.

Yeah, he has good feedback, AND I had a great experience with him earlier this year.

Thus the reason for the warning.  I furnished azsellsit with a link to this post.  I don't think he is a Mexican, by the way.  The guy who spoke spanish to me was much too caring to be the guy I have a problem with (Jim).

As far as delivery, it was delivered while I was not at home, and it had the entire top of the cabinet covered in cardboard, and they refused to set it up inside according to my wife.  My wife accepted delivery and it was put in the garage with all problems 100% concealed.

Even if I had brought up the problem, yes I paid in advance.  I trusted the guy, and I lost.

I have already been to his location, and I've seen what's going on over there and what life is like for them.  I don't feel obligated to do anything besides protect other people on this forum from buying one of his cabinets, at least until he gets new clips.  And if you do buy, definitely don't buy from him direct.

Also, the guy who did this cabinet for me is much too lazy to actually post here.  Also I looked at the post history of the guy who defended azsellsit, and I don't think it's the same guy, but maybe a friend(?)

Whatever.  I'm definitely not hurting for $200, I just don't put up with ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- and I don't like people who betray trust.

I think you're totally justified. A good vendor or business person always errs on the side of customer service because the word of mouth pays in off in spades. For this guy to act the way he has, smacks of desperation and he definitely isn't someone that fits into my view of the awesome people I've met in this hobby. It makes no sense for him to ruin his rep over 175.00.

What's he thinking?
